he was a confidante of assad. is it the belief inside israel that regime is just going to fall, just a matter of when? >> i think the big question mark here is where assad goes, brian. i mean, that's the problem. when you see what happened to moammar gadhafi, when you see what happened to the other dictators who have been overthrown in the arab spring, assad is not going to yield power if he doesn't have a place to go. the suggestions here in israel are that assad go to his friends in russia. let him seek asylum in russia. assad scoffs at that notion, but when you think of the symmetry of it, putin being pals with assad, the historic strategic relationship between russia and syria, it would make all the sense in the world. but absent a safe haven, i believe that assad will fight to the end. that affection notwithstanding, there are plenty of loyal troops in the syrian army. it's a formidable force. i've seen it up close and personal. i think there will be much more bloodshed and violence and disruption and anarchy
